They can fudge the numbers however they want with that crazy metric system and nobody is the wiser. Seriously, though, the Balance bar (original) like I have for breakfast is 200 calories (vs 273 for a Snickers...36% less), it has 15 g. of protein which, like you, is the main reason I eat it (THREE TIMES the protein of a Snickers), and 22 g. of carb (vs 33 for Snickers). No comparison. It's all about BALANCE, hence the name. 40/30/30 nutrition, baby. There's power in it. Oh, don’t listen to him.

The Balance bar is slightly smaller in serving size, so if the bars were the same size there's only about a 30 calorie difference between the two. (Snickers is 271 calories for 57g and the Balance bar is 210 for 50g) The Balance bar is a bit better sugars wise at 32% of its weight in sugar, vs around 50% for the Snickers though. Ok, now that I've pissed on your parade I'm off to kill some kittens. Buh bye. Have a look at the Balance bar nutritional information and then Google the Snickers info.

My relationship with it became a little obsessive recently, but I think we're in a better, healthier place now.
